Blender 2d animation, Draw lines in draw mode but cannot erase them, cannot edit them
I just realised that in Blender 2d animation. locking a material from being edited also lockes any strokes from being selected and moved if they have this material.
This is really confusing Grease pencil feature, it made me asume I had the layer locked even though it seemed like it was unlocked, or I had the stroke on the wrong layer. Spent the last 2 hours troubleshooting it and trying to recreate it.
It means you can draw lines in draw mode but cannot erase them, cannot edit them.
Locking materials seems like it should just stop the material from being edited but it locks what it has been applied to as well.
Anyway just posting as I spent so long googling and could not find the solution. was about to admit defeat and delete my project and start again, assuming it was strange bug. hopefully a google search with bring this up for the next person who gets this issue
